Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definitions of the terms involved: Adhesion, Cohesion, High Surface Tension, and High Heat Capacity.

Adhesion refers to the attraction between molecules of different substances. In this case, it is the attraction between water molecules and the glass surface.

Cohesion refers to the attraction between molecules of the same substance, such as water molecules attracting each other.

High Surface Tension is a property of liquids that results from cohesive forces, allowing them to resist an external force. It is why water forms droplets.

High Heat Capacity is the ability of a substance to absorb heat without a significant change in temperature. This is not directly related to water sticking to a surface.
